April Meeting

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 7:00 PM at the Intown Quilters shop. Since we decided to postpone the block swap until April, there's still time for people to make blocks to swap and to bring them to the next meeting.

The following people signed up for refreshments in April: Regina Carter, Cynthia Jeness, June Hanes, Joan Wiezenthal, and Arlene Poretsky.

March Meeting

Our last meeting was on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 7:00 PM at the Intown Quilters shop. Anita Heady provided some interesting suggestions to help us "Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle, Repair, Maintain and Preserve". Here are just a few of her suggestions:

  • Get free patterns over the Internet or draw your own.
  • Purchase inexpensieve cotton clothing from thrift stores for quilts. Even non-cotton fabrics can be used if appropriately backed.
    • .
  • Fix color problems with dyeing.
  • Reuse those scraps. Small fabric "crumbs" can be built into larger quilts.
  • Repurpose a pastel quilt as a rabbit.
  • Use filtered water for irons and remember to turn them off when not in use.
  • Sharpen needles and cutting blades rather than replacing them.

The batik swap was delayed until next month. Thanks to Hilary Ford, Laura Palmer, Sheila Blair, and Judy Sternberg for wonderful bars, cookies and cheese snacks.
